Do we beginG756 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselvesG1438? orG1508 need weG5535, asG5613 someG5100 others, epistlesG1992 of commendationG4956 toG4314 youG5209, orG2228 letters of commendationG4956 fromG1537 youG5216?
YeG5210 areG2075 ourG2257 epistleG1992 writtenG1449 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, knownG1097 andG2532 readG314 ofG5259 allG3956 menG444:
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declaredG5319 toG3754 beG2075 the epistleG1992 of ChristG5547 ministeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257, writtenG1449 notG3756 with inkG3188, butG235 with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; notG3756 inG1722 tablesG4109 of stoneG3035, butG235 inG1722 fleshyG4560 tablesG4109 of the heartG2588.
AndG1161 suchG5108 trustG4006 have weG2192 throughG1223 ChristG5547 toG4314 God-wardG2316:
NotG3756 thatG3754 we areG2070 sufficientG2425 ofG575 ourselvesG1438 to thinkG3049 any thingG5100 asG5613 ofG1537 ourselvesG1438; butG235 ourG2257 sufficiencyG2426 is ofG1537 GodG2316;
WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427 ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. {giveth life: or, quickeneth}
ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of deathG2288, writtenG1722+G1121 and engravenG1795 inG1722 stonesG3037, wasG1096 gloriousG1722+G1391, soG5620 that the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 notG3361 stedfastly beholdG816 the faceG1519+G4383 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 countenanceG4383; whichG3588 glory was to be done awayG2673:
HowG4459 shallG1248 notG3780 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071 ratherG3123+G1722 gloriousG1391?
ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of condemnationG2633 be gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 doth the ministrationG1248 of righteousnessG1343 exceedG4052 inG1722 gloryG1391.
ForG1063 evenG2532 that which was made gloriousG1392 had noG3761 gloryG1392 inG1722 thisG5129 respectG3313, by reasonG1752 of the gloryG1391 that excellethG5235.
ForG1063 ifG1487 that which is done awayG2673 was gloriousG1223+G1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 that which remainethG3306 is gloriousG1722+G1391.
Seeing thenG3767 that we haveG2192 suchG5108 hopeG1680, we useG5530 greatG4183 plainness of speechG3954: {plainness: or, boldness}
AndG2532 notG3756 asG2509 MosesG3475, which putG5087 a vailG2571 overG1909 hisG1438 faceG4383, thatG4314 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG816 notG3361 stedfastly lookG816 toG1519 the endG5056 of that which is abolishedG2673:
ButG235 theirG846 mindsG3540 were blindedG4456: forG1063 untilG891 this dayG4594 remainethG3306 the sameG846 vailG2571 untakenG3361 awayG343 inG1909 the readingG320 of the oldG3820 testamentG1242; whichG3748 vail is done awayG2673 inG1722 ChristG5547.
ButG235 evenG2193 unto this dayG4594, whenG2259 MosesG3475 is readG314, the vailG2571 is uponG2749+G1909 theirG846 heartG2588.
NeverthelessG1161 whenG2259 itG302 shall turnG1994 toG4314 the LordG2962, the vailG2571 shall be taken awayG4014.
NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG2076 that SpiritG4151: andG1161 whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is, thereG1563 is libertyG1657.
ButG1161 weG2249 allG3956, with openG343 faceG4383 beholding as in a glassG2734 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, are changedG3339 into the sameG846 imageG1504 fromG575 gloryG1391 toG1519 gloryG1391, even asG2509 byG575 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962. {by the…: or, of the Lord the Spirit}

WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427 ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. {giveth life: or, quickeneth}
ForG1063 he hath madeG4160 him to be sinG266 forG5228 usG2257, whoG3588 knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266; thatG2443 weG2249 might be madeG1096 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846.
ForG1063 evenG2532 that which was made gloriousG1392 had noG3761 gloryG1392 inG1722 thisG5129 respectG3313, by reasonG1752 of the gloryG1391 that excellethG5235.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of deathG2288, writtenG1722+G1121 and engravenG1795 inG1722 stonesG3037, wasG1096 gloriousG1722+G1391, soG5620 that the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 notG3361 stedfastly beholdG816 the faceG1519+G4383 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 countenanceG4383; whichG3588 glory was to be done awayG2673:
I bring nearH7126 my righteousnessH6666; it shall not be far offH7368, and my salvationH8668 shall not tarryH309: and I will placeH5414 salvationH8668 in ZionH6726 for IsraelH3478 my gloryH8597.
ForG1063 ifG1487 that which is done awayG2673 was gloriousG1223+G1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 that which remainethG3306 is gloriousG1722+G1391.
And thou shalt set boundsH1379 unto the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, sayingH559, Take heedH8104 to yourselves, that ye go not upH5927 into the mountH2022, or touchH5060 the borderH7097 of it: whosoever touchethH5060 the mountH2022 shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191:
There shall not an handH3027 touchH5060 it, but he shall surelyH5619 be stonedH5619, orH176 shotH3384 throughH3384; whether it be beastH929 orH518 manH376, it shall not liveH2421: when the trumpetH3104 soundeth longH4900, they shall come upH5927 to the mountH2022. {trumpet: or, cornet}
And MosesH4872 went downH3381 from the mountH2022 unto the peopleH5971, and sanctifiedH6942 the peopleH5971; and they washedH3526 their clothesH8071.
And he saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, BeH1961 readyH3559 against the thirdH7969 dayH3117: comeH5066 not at your wivesH802.
And it came to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 in the morningH1242, that there were thundersH6963 and lightningsH1300, and a thickH3515 cloudH6051 upon the mountH2022, and the voiceH6963 of the trumpetH7782 exceedingH3966 loudH2389; so that all the peopleH5971 that was in the campH4264 trembledH2729.
And MosesH4872 brought forthH3318 the peopleH5971 out of the campH4264 to meetH7125 with GodH430; and they stoodH3320 at the netherH8482 part of the mountH2022.
And mountH2022 SinaiH5514 was altogether on a smokeH6225, becauseH6440+H834 the LORDH3068 descendedH3381 upon it in fireH784: and the smokeH6227 thereof ascendedH5927 as the smokeH6227 of a furnaceH3536, and the whole mountH2022 quakedH2729 greatlyH3966.
And when the voiceH6963 of the trumpetH7782 soundedH6963 longH1980, and waxed louderH2390 and louderH3966, MosesH4872 spakeH1696, and GodH430 answeredH6030 him by a voiceH6963.
In his daysH3117 JudahH3063 shall be savedH3467, and IsraelH3478 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is his nameH8034 whereby he shall be calledH7121, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSH3072. {THE LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
There is oneG243 gloryG1391 of the sunG2246, andG2532 anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the moonG4582, andG2532 anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the starsG792: forG1063 one starG792 differeth fromG1308 another starG792 inG1722 gloryG1391.
And all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 the thunderingsH6963, and the lightningsH3940, and the noiseH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226: and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they removedH5128, and stoodH5975 afar offH7350.
ForG1063 thereinG1722+G846 isG601 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 revealedG601 fromG1537 faithG4102 toG1519 faithG4102: asG2531 it is writtenG1125+G1161, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.
AndG2532 MosesG3475 verilyG3303 was faithfulG4103 inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624, asG5613 a servantG2324, forG1519 a testimonyG3142 of those things which were to be spoken afterG2980;
And they saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 thou with us, and we will hearH8085: but let not GodH430 speakH1696 with us, lest we dieH4191.
ButG1161 nowG3570 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 is manifestedG5319, being witnessedG3140 byG5259 the lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396;
ButG1161 ChristG5547 asG5613 a sonG5207 overG1909 his ownG846 houseG3624; whoseG3739 houseG3624 areG2070 weG2249, ifG1437+G4007 we hold fastG2722 the confidenceG3954 andG2532 the rejoicingG2745 of the hopeG1680 firmG949 untoG3360 the endG5056.
ForG1063 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 fromG575 heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 unrighteousnessG93 of menG444, who holdG2722 the truthG225 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93;
EvenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 which is byG1223 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 untoG1519 allG3956 andG2532 uponG1909 allG3956 them that believeG4100: forG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 differenceG1293:
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ButG235 notG3756 asG5613 the offenceG3900, soG3779 alsoG2532 is the free giftG5486. ForG1063 ifG1487 through the offenceG3900 of oneG1520 manyG4183 be deadG599, muchG4183 moreG3123 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, andG2532 the giftG1431 byG1722 graceG5485, which isG3588 by oneG1520 manG444, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, hath aboundedG4052 untoG1519 manyG4183.
AndG2532 notG3756 asG5613 it was byG1223 oneG1520 that sinnedG264, so is the giftG1434: forG1063+G3303 the judgmentG2917 was byG1537 oneG1520 toG1519 condemnationG2631, butG1161 the free giftG5486 is ofG1537 manyG4183 offencesG3900 untoG1519 justificationG1345.
ForG1063 ifG1487 by one man'sG1520 offenceG3900 deathG2288 reignedG936 byG1223 oneG1520; muchG4183 moreG3123 they which receiveG2983 abundanceG4050 of graceG5485 andG2532 of the giftG1431 of righteousnessG1343 shall reignG936 inG1722 lifeG2222 byG1223 oneG1520, JesusG2424 ChristG5547.) {by one man's…: or, by one offence}
ThereforeG686+G3767 asG5613 byG1223 the offenceG3900 of oneG1520 judgment came uponG1519 allG3956 menG444 toG1519 condemnationG2631; evenG2532 soG3779 byG1223 the righteousnessG1345 of oneG1520 the free gift came uponG1519 allG3956 menG444 untoG1519 justificationG1347 of lifeG2222. {by the offence…: or, by one offence} {by the righteousness…: or, by one righteousness}
ForG1063 asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 man'sG444 disobedienceG3876 manyG4183 were madeG2525 sinnersG268, soG3779+G2532 byG1223 the obedienceG5218 of oneG1520 shallG2525 manyG4183 be madeG2525 righteousG1342.
MoreoverG1161 the lawG3551 enteredG3922, thatG2443 the offenceG3900 might aboundG4121. ButG1161 whereG3757 sinG266 aboundedG4121, graceG5485 did much more aboundG5248:
ThatG2443 asG5618 sinG266 hath reignedG936 untoG1722 deathG2288, evenG2532 soG3779 mightG936 graceG5485 reignG936 throughG1223 righteousnessG1343 untoG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
ForG1063 they being ignorantG50 of God'sG2316 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 going aboutG2212 to establishG2476 their ownG2398 righteousnessG1343, haveG5293 notG3756 submitted themselvesG5293 unto the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 is the endG5056 of the lawG3551 forG1519 righteousnessG1343 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 describethG1125 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 the lawG3551, ThatG3754 the manG444 which doethG4160 those thingsG846 shall liveG2198 byG1722 themG846.
ButG1161 the righteousnessG1343 which is ofG1537 faithG4102 speakethG3004 on this wiseG3779, SayG2036 notG3361 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588, WhoG5101 shall ascendG305 intoG1519 heavenG3772? (that isG5123, to bringG2609 ChristG5547 downG2609 from above:)
OrG2228, WhoG5101 shall descendG2597 intoG1519 the deepG12? (that isG5123, to bring upG321 ChristG5547 againG321 fromG1537 the deadG3498.)
ButG235 whatG5101 saith itG3004? The wordG4487 isG2076 nighG1451 theeG4675, even inG1722 thyG4675 mouthG4750, andG2532 inG1722 thyG4675 heartG2588: that isG5123, the wordG4487 of faithG4102, whichG3739 we preachG2784;
ThatG3754 ifG1437 thou shalt confessG3670 withG1722 thyG4675 mouthG4750 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 shalt believeG4100 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588 thatG3754 GodG2316 hath raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thou shalt be savedG4982.
ForG1063 with the heartG2588 man believethG4100 untoG1519 righteousnessG1343; andG1161 with the mouthG4750 confession is madeG3670 untoG1519 salvationG4991.
ForG1063 ye areG4334 notG3756 comeG4334 unto the mountG3735 that might be touchedG5584, andG2532 that burnedG2545 with fireG4442, norG2532 unto blacknessG1105, andG2532 darknessG4655, andG2532 tempestG2366,
AndG2532 the soundG2279 of a trumpetG4536, andG2532 the voiceG5456 of wordsG4487; whichG3739 voice they that heardG191 intreatedG3868 that the wordG3056 shouldG4369 notG3361 be spokenG4369 to themG846 any moreG3361:
(ForG1063 they couldG5342 notG3756 endureG5342 that which was commandedG1291, And if so much asG2579 a beastG2342 touchG2345 the mountainG3735, it shall be stonedG3036, orG2228 thrust throughG2700 with a dartG1002:
AndG2532 soG3779 terribleG5398 wasG2258 the sightG5324, that MosesG3475 saidG2036, I exceedingly fearG1630+G1510 andG2532 quakeG1790:)
ButG1161 ofG1537 himG846 areG2075 yeG5210 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3739 ofG575 GodG2316 is madeG1096 unto usG2254+G5037 wisdomG4678, and righteousnessG1343, andG2532 sanctificationG38, andG2532 redemptionG629:
ChristG5547 is become of no effect unto youG575+G2673, whosoever of youG3748 are justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551; ye are fallen fromG1601 graceG5485.
ForG1063 weG2249 through the SpiritG4151 wait forG553 the hopeG1680 of righteousnessG1343 byG1537 faithG4102.
AndG2532 be foundG2147 inG1722 himG846, notG3361 havingG2192 mine ownG1699 righteousnessG1343, whichG3588 is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 that whichG3588 is throughG1223 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316 byG1909 faithG4102:
SimonG4826 PeterG4074, a servantG1401 andG2532 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to them that have obtainedG2975 like preciousG2472 faithG4102 with usG2254 throughG1722 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {Simon: or, Symeon} {God…: Gr. of our God and Saviour}
